    I am extremely relived to see that other hosts are as frustrated with the current state of affairs as I am. I am also extremely disappointed that we have had no "official reply" to our concerns from the Dev team. I would like to get some answers.
  3. Are there any plans to add a fix in the rolling updates for the tents not saving ?

    To all server admins

    Most servers are hosted by individuals not company's with 24/7 staff coverage to monitor them, even those hosted by clans are unlikely to have people over the correct time zones with the required skill sets to provide admin coverage to their servers. The money we pay be it from our own pockets (as it mostly seems to be) or via donations from the community goes to pay for the running of the servers. If there were no server (or even just an insufficient number) the player base could and would not have ever gotten this large. you cant fit 100,000 concurent players into 5 - 50 slot servers. The work we are doing and the money we are paying is directly related to the success of this mod. Obviously the mod is good an people would want to play it regardless , after all that's why we run the servers in the first place. But how many players would have stuck around if the server availability was like it was in the first few months, we all got RSI smashing the enter key to be able to play.

    To all server admins

    I have nothing but support for the OP The support rendered to server hosts has been and remains awful. For those of us that have been hosting servers since the very beginning its particularly disappointing. We have been providing the servers to allow for the massive player expansion, and we do not get any help with our issues and on top of that our hands are tied on almost ALL aspects of administration. As I said back when this mod started it seems that all the server hosts are permitted to do is pay for the servers and take the rage of players when they break or are constantly accused of abuses that we can not possible have performed. At my reckoning there are about 2500-3000 servers in total now , if we use an average figure of from $50 - $100 per month ranging from hosted to self run. we will use $75 and we will use 2750 servers. 2750*$75p/m = $206,250 per month The hosts are paying upwards of two hundred thousand dollars a month to finance the success of this mod and its subsequent stand alone release. We are not feeling, nor have we ever felt even a modicum of appreciation and we have certainly had no support. We do not expect the earth but something as simple as allowing admins to ban hackers or getting some dedicated support guys to assist the hosts with db related issues. How about processing the massive backlog of server addition support tickets so that we can update our mission pbo's ? Or even just to have them not threaten us with blacklisting for trying to stop hackers destroying our servers. Take from this what you will, but I for one am very disappointed.

    Day Z Videos

    [FS] DayZ | Chopper Scouting, Vehicle Theft and base raiding After a few weeks of inactivity FS are getting back into the swing of things , here are some of our latest escapades.
  7. Are they plans to add the Mi17/AH6 heli back to dayz rather than only have the UH1 ?
  8. good point :) added to OP
  9. Simple suggestion, could vehicles and tents have a slot counter the same way that backpacks do so that you can see how many slots are used/available. I'm sure there are lots of people that would appreciate this :)

    UK5 - Butthurt Admins?

    Perhaps we should go on strike :) (i know i am)
  11. I would ban them and send there ID's to dayzdevs to have them added to the daily global ban list :) let the devs decide

    How often are your camps raided?

    There is also a prevalence of maphacks that show people where every tent/vehicle is when they open their map. This is a huge problem that we are waiting to be fixed.

    [DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!

    I think a page on the site with up to date graphs on stats would be nice, general things like number of people in possession of direrent kinds of items ect Also number of avg kills deaths Z kills ect number of tents per server ?
  14. There is another issue at the root of these behaviour, currently there are people using maphacks that display the location of OBJ's (tents cars choppers tank traps ext) that allow them to see the location of EVERYTHING on the map (aside from players) as a result they will walk directly to any chopper tent or car and steal everything. Since there is no way to hide anything anywhere inside the map people are forced to travel so far away that the people using the hacks cant walk all the way there with out dying. I think that once a solution of found to this then people will not have reason to go out there in the first place.

    ...........

    I can confirm that its a hacked weapon, it does not appear in the loot code, unfortunately i must recommend you get rid of it or risk getting banned by database sweeps for hacked gear.
